http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-immigrant-attorney-20120517,0,1730536.story

Suppose he gets a bar ticket, and then suppose he decides to practice immigration law [which is not a far-fetched assumption]. Next, suppose that he has an illegal alien client confined in an immigration lockup. The illegal alien attorney needs to visit his illegal alien client. What are the guards at the facility going to do? Allow an illegal alien attorney to visit his illegal alien detainee client, and then allow the illegal alien attorney to leave while continuing to hold the illegal alien client?
